This week I have been busy trying to do a bit of a tidy up of my cupboards so that I can show you where I keep my kitchen "stuff!" I don't really have too many dishes so my home tour shouldn't take too long!
Our every day dishes are Spode Blue Italian Transferware and I keep them in a drawer in our kitchen.
My 2nd set of dishes are our Christmas dishes which are kept on the bottom shelf of the cupboard where we keep our everyday mugs and glasses.
Our Wedding china, Noritake Château, is kept in our antique Chinese sideboard which is in our dining area. Later on I would love to show you my very first Tablescape using this china.
I also keep platters and other dishes in this sideboard.
One of my favourite storage ideas is found in our kitchen. When we renovated our kitchen I made sure we used every available space to store things. This is where I keep my slow cooker, sandwich press, food processor and hand held blender. I love this cupboard!
I also made sure that my silverware could be stored neatly.
My tea towels have their own special drawer, right next to my knife block...only small visitors who love drying dishes will find the sharp knives! I think I am safe!
Some of my sweet bloggy friends have seen my pantry but if you haven't seen my Pantry and Tupperware collection just click here!
The original post can be found here. It was nearly Summer here in Australia when I first started blogging so since it is nearly Summer in the Northern Hemisphere, I thought it might be nice to share my tablescape again today!
I will end this home tour with a Tune...A shameless plug for my Tuesday Tune meme that I host each weekend. If you would like to join in and share your favourite music please do!
Formed in 1995, they spent much of their early career Touring small towns and universities. They didn't come to the attention of the international community until they made an appearance at the Eurovision Grand Prix de la Chanson in Kiel, Germany. The Ten Tenors' ability to mix classical, rock, and opera with a distinctly Australian flair has resulted in award-winning Albums like One Is Not Enough, Larger Than Life, Tenology, and 2006's Here's to the Heroes.
I hope you enjoy their version of Il Gladiatore.
Please join me each weekend for the Say G'day Saturday Linky Party!
Natasha, Tell me where I can get those plate holder things for my drawers. I think my life would be complete if I had those. I also love all your plates and china. Actually I liked everything you showed in this post. Gorgeous. xx
ReplyDeleteWow Natasha, I am so so impressed!! Organization plus!!! You are living my tupperware dream :)
ReplyDeleteGreat collection!
Jeanne:)
I feel I am really getting to know your home and all the beautiful things you have in it :)
ReplyDeleteWow you have beautiful dishes and I love how you displayed your table! So lovely! I could use you in my kitchen, ahhh what a nightmare!
ReplyDeleteTake Care
Brenda
Love it very organized:)
ReplyDeleteVery very pretty, Natasha & I'm not surprised you are so well organized. The clean lines of your home reflect that trait in you. I wish I had it!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteHow do you have enough room in there. So many beautiful dishes and this to cook with. Wonderful! :O)
ReplyDeleteThanks Natasha for coming and joining the party!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you have everything very neat and orderly. Love those dish drawers!
Great tea cup collection.

Oh, to be so organized! I would love to have drawers for my dishes, seems like it would be much easier on the back to lift up, rather than up and toward you. Love your Spode...
ReplyDeleteoh dear Natasha, I really love your blue and white dishes! my fave at the mo!.. and your have all your dishes neatly organised!.. thanks for sharing.. have a good day!

Lovely, Natasha. Your home looks absolutely beautiful and organized. I love your dishes but you might need more!
ReplyDeleteCarol
Hi Natasha! Oh, you have wonderful storage! I'm so impressed and you're so neat and organized! Lovely dishes! Now I'm loving seeing your kitchen - your counter tops are gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteBe a sweetie,
shelia :)
What gorgeous things you have Natasha. I have an award for you over at my blog.
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow blogger I really enjoyed seeing how you managed to combine all those themes. That is some kind of genius.
ReplyDeleteLove the silverware drawer, we could use something like that! I am going to have to show that to my hubby.
You have a very pretty kitchen!
Hello Natasha, I love the neat, organized way you have of storing. Your kitchen is much to be envied! Thanks for letting me peek and dream.
ReplyDeleteWow, you are so organized and neat! My hubbie wouldn't know what to do if he saw my kitchen that neat. Love your tablescape. Yes, it's summer here, and hot. It goes very well. :)
ReplyDeleteWowee Natasha! I am soooo impressed by your kitchen and your AMAZINGLY organised STORAGE!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I am in love with your noritake china. LOVE IT.
And I thought you were joking when I first saw the photo of your "everyday" china in it's fancy holder...?!!!
OMG.
I would be ASHAMED to show ANYBODY the inside of my cupboards and my pitifully boring dinnerware.
Love the tablescape too.
GORGEOUS.
xx
Ok Natasha...I am going to have to start posting my songs to your meme. I don't know if you have seen my music blog, Songs of Home, but you might like some of my music. I actually usually post my songs on Sundays as they are devotional or family oriented or just about life in general. I've been writing since I was 11. What a neat idea!
ReplyDeleteYour photos of your tablescapes are AWESOME! I love them. The diningroom table using shells as napkin weights is my favorite. So pretty!
PS. I took pix this morning for a post for Thursday where I explain tablescapes to my readers and just took some extra photos today. I felt like Monday I just didn't explain what I'd learned from Maria Killam clearly enough. I got lots of questions about my thrift store finds too. It will be posted on Thursday..so I guess I can join that group too. How fun!
You have everything so neat and organized! I love those dish drawers.
ReplyDeleteHi Natasha!
ReplyDeleteEverything is so neat and organized! Great job with that. Very pretty dishes as well~!
Love seeing all your china Natasha - and how neat and tidy your drawers are!! Also how nice to see a little bit of Summer in your table arrangement from last year - so pretty. x
ReplyDeleteI forgot to add that I love the pop of pink that those napkins bring to your wonderful tablescape! You don't usually see that colour used with shells but I really like it!
ReplyDeleteDD
Fun to see where you store your dishes! Wasn't it good of The Tablescaper to make us clean up our drawers! LOL! I have never seen those organizer/divider things you show with your plates in the first drawer - they would be so handy as the dishes wouldn't move forward when you open the drawer! Great tupperware collection/storage too!
ReplyDeleteDD
I love the storage areas you put in your kitchen. The cabinets and drawers are amazing.
ReplyDeleteI love your everyday ware...the Blue Spode! You are very organized and I love your first tablescape -- the pink napkins are a welcome suprise on a beachy tablescape. Joni
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you shared! I struggle with storage space in my old house! Love the way you have your things organized. Appeals to my heart!
ReplyDeleteYour table setting was just lovely,
Thanks,
Kathy
Very organized and I love the tupperware pantry!
ReplyDeleteyour tablescape is beautiful! sooo beachy....the shells really add to the setting.

ReplyDeleteGreetings, Johanna
Oh Natasha, What a beautiful tidy and well-organised kitchen. You would be horrified if you saw mine!! Love your tablescape. Thanks for visiting me - I'm actually way up here just past Cairns! Enjoy your holiday in Mooloolaba, I hear it is very nice there.
ReplyDeleteOMGosh, girlfriend...this is organization with a huge PLUS....this is all fabulous..and your pantry is to die for. I love ALL your storage areas. I didn't join in on this meme...I'm too unorganized to compete with ladies like yourself. Wow...amazing.
ReplyDeleteAll your dishes are so pretty.

You've really put a lot into one post! I'm really impressed with your storage of food ... flour, sugar and popcorn. I love the pretty blue dishes too. Thank you for visiting my blog. You get on the "Dean's List" for maintaining a certain grade point average for a semester in college. Every semester you get a fresh start to try again. My son was on the Dean's List just a couple of times during the years (he just graduated as a pharmacist) but the coursework was so difficult, we know how hard it was to keep those grades up. Great post and I'll be back to visit!
ReplyDeleteI loved their version of Gladiatore :)
ReplyDeleteHOLY SMOKES! i bet that sounded really stupid didn't it :) But I can't believe how organized you are! I am very impressed! You seem to do that all the time though...imnpress me!
ReplyDeleteI love your tablescape! It is GORGEOUS! Glad you posted her again!
Oh! How TRULY lovely! You have some wonderful collections; so glad you shared them with us today!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how neat and organized! Great dish drawer, I like that!
ReplyDeleteAnd your table is lovely!
Natasha, WOW you did such a great job! I love your dishes!
ReplyDeleteYou must be the organized woman I have ever seen in my life! Are your drawers extra strength? I have never seen those dividers which accommodate plates. Available in the US?
ReplyDeleteScribbler
Quite a comprehensive T post! That blue transferware is my favorite!

Oh, Natasha you are so neat and tidy~! I used to be but when the kids outnumbered me I sorta stopped picking it all up. Love your teacup collection. Your table is beautiful. Love the beachy feel. So pretty.
ReplyDeleteCome by my blog and win a $50 CSN gift certificate and you can buy some more dishes.

Oops, Natasha I am so sorry the gift certificate is for US and Canada residents. My mistake.

ReplyDeleteThanks subgirl for your sweet comment and thanks for visiting!
ReplyDeleteI am thanking you here as I can't access your profile to come visit you-sorry.
Best wishes,

You're so organized. I love the way you can just pull out your slow cooker. I'm always on my hands and knees digging in the back of a cabinet. Everything is so neat. Your pantry is a work of art!
ReplyDeleteWow, everything is so neat and organized - I think I need to spend less time on the computer and more time cleaning my house! Your Christmas china is adorable with those cute little reindeers!

I love your tablescape...the shells really look beautiful on the white.......
ReplyDeleteNatasha, you are SO organized! I love those dividers for the china in your drawer! of course, I also love that transferware - one of my favorites. Your Chinese sideboard is beautiful, and you have everything so neatly stored in it. Oh, and your pantry and silverware drawer are so beautifully organized. Your tablescape is beautiful. laurie
ReplyDeleteNatasha,
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Love how organized your cabinets are. We redid our kitchen 3 yrs ago, and my cabinets started out organized. I've kept up a few, but more & more stuff find their way there. It's time for a purge again.
I would really love to find a sideboard. A place I could keep table decor & maybe a second set of dishes. I also love your Christmas dishes. I have cobalt blue dishes that I love, but I would really like to get some white ones.
your kitchen is very well thought out. Love the drawers for the spode and silverware best.
ReplyDeleteOkay - you are inspiring me - I thought my cabinets and drawers were organized (they pretty much are) but I see I have some areas I've let slide and you've given me the inspiration to finish them off!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! Enjoy working around your very organized and inspirational kitchen (another "Mom Cave" location in the house!)
Linda
Wow, so impressive. Love it. I love your table setting and collection of dishes. You are so organized and there is so much to learn from you.
ReplyDeletewww.compulsivefoodie.com
Where to begin!? Those nice big/wide drawers in your kitchen must be dreamy! I love how organized everything is. And wow at that Chinese sideboard! Really I love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for joining the party!
